On his website it points out that:
Bob's mother, Cedella, had remarried and moved to Delaware in the United States where she had saved sufficient money to send her son an air ticket. The intention was for Bob to start a new life. But before he moved to America, Bob met a young girl called Rita Anderson and, on February 10, 1966, they were married.
Marley's stay in America was short-lived. He worked just enough to finance his real ambition: music. In October 1966 Bob Marley, after eight months in America, returned to Jamaica. It was a formative period in his life.
Every year we hold the People's Festival to honor Bob Marley and his contribution to Delaware's cultural heritage.

His mother's house is still in Wilmington. The family bought a home that still stands at 2313 Tatnall Street and members of the extended family continue to live here and work for social justice.
